I understand that the Romans were unable to conquer Scotland so they build Hadrian's Wall (which explains the survival of older cultures there). But as far as I know they occupied Wales and Cornwall, so how is it that the Celtic culture (language etc.) survived in those places?

That's very insightful, thank you! I didn't realise the Celtic tribes 'coexisted' with the Romans in that way
